Years

At one point on our outing my mom said, "You'll have to stay at least three years." I asked why, but she'd already lost the thread. Then back to the topic of time, a few minutes later she said that she'd stay for 18 years. I said, "You mean you'll live for 18 more years? Till you're 99?" She said, "I want to live longer than that!" The case against precedent autonomy rests.
